Pasta Lupino – Whistler, BC
Pasta Lupino has been one of Whistler’s best-kept secrets since 2000. Locally owned, not a chain. We make everything fresh every day — handmade pasta, housemade sauces, the lot. We’re a tight team and we hire people, not just resumes.
We’re growing — a second production kitchen at Function Junction is opening and there’s room for good people to grow with us.
We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves cooking and wants to grow in a kitchen — not just someone looking for another shift job. **Private Room Staff housing available**
This role is a mix of morning prep shifts and AM/PM line shifts, giving you the chance to develop skills across the whole kitchen — from production to service.
If you enjoy fast-paced kitchens, learning new techniques, and being part of a supportive team, you’ll fit right in.
